We may pick at each other, but I like Dac's signature...
"Its not what you ride, its that you ride" That means even an Aero or Dio, shucks, even my Helix. :D Or my Schwinn? :mrgreen: I have noticed on the road and around town, some bikers are arrogant, and others give me a thumbs up.

Now back to the wrenches... I wonder why they are scoot names and not Snap-On, MAC, Craftsman and Cornwell? :?

They made the Topper, a quirky 60s vintage collectible now. I've never even seen one, but here's my other ride, a 2002 Sportster S tuned to a Tee.

I can swap for a dual saddle in seconds. The vibration can be very stimulating for some female passengers. :twisted: That and a highway destination are the only reasons to ride the Sport instead of the Aero. Whatever I'm riding, I wave to anything on two wheels. Lately I've begun to appreciate scooters - especially built ones - more.

Never seen the Harley scooters, but on google, I see Chinese making Harley retros. YUK... Not on Harley, but on China retros.

Wheelman, I know you're not a Elite or Dio man, but you do seem to like em souped. I think you would like my junkbasket rebuild with the 50mm jug. I put a new battery on, but it's taking a car battery to spin that higher compression. Still got lots of parts to put on it, such as shroud and airbox cover and filter. Missing a few bolts too.

You guys are pathetic. :roll: I'm probably the old man in this thread and would bet I'm having more recreation than any of you. And I don't mean scooters. :mrgreen:

Hey, that's Jimmy Stewart. He never said that!
You're still fascinated with size and haven't figured it out.

Of course, but I notice a lot different type of attention when I am on my Elite E (ghetto ped) as compared to the Ultra Classic (standard mods) and totally different from the envy of the ct110(bone stock).

If you look at the names, they are progressive and not all scoot names. like goped (portable fun btw) or cbr1000rr (wasted money on the streets). my guess is that being this is a forum for all topics (not just mods) the direct link to tool names does not fit everybody's agenda. but almost everybody does ride.
